External Features

The BMENOR2200H module has the same form factor as other M580 advanced communication modules. This figure shows the specific external features of this module:

1

LED array

Observe the LED display to diagnose the module.

2

MAC address

This manufacturer-defined address (front control ports) is unique for each individual module

3

memory card slot

Store data logging files (.csv) to the SD card.

4

serial port

This port is an isolated RS232/RS485 serial connector.

Use a TCSXCN3M4F3S4 (ferrule) cable (serial link) to connect the module's serial (RS232) RJ45 port to a communication port on a modem. It supports all pins on the modem's nine-pin D-sub connector except for the ring indicator (RI) signal pin (sold separately).

5

control ports
Two RJ45 control ports with below characteristics:

  1. Transmission rate: 1 Gbit/s,100 Mbit/s,10 Mbit/s (configurable)

  2. Port(s) Enable/Disable is allowed

  3. Share same IP address (like two ports on the switch)

  4. Operating speed up to 1 Gb/s. When operating at the speed of:

    • 1 Gb/s, use only CAT6 copper shielded twisted four-pair cables.

    • 10/100 Mb/s, use CAT5e or CAT6 copper shielded twisted four-pair cables.

NOTE: There is  no link redundant protocols (RSTP, PRP, etc.) on these two ports. When enabling all control ports and getting connected to network, verify the network topology design to help avoid network loop issues and abnormal module behaviors.

6

dual-bus backplane connector

This connection to the Modicon M580 rack supports Ethernet and X Bus communications.

7

rotary switch

Use this switch to set the cyber security level for the module.
NOTE: A ferule placed on the end of the serial port reduces the pinching of the cable by the removable cover. This reduces the risk of degrading the quality of the link by decreasing the likelihood of achieving the maximum bending radius of the cable.

Dimensions

The BMENOR2200H module conforms to the height of an M580 controller and the width of a standard single-slot M580 communication module that has an SD card slot:

Module mounted on rack:

Serial Port

The BMENOR2200H module has a built-in serial port that supports either serial communications through a serial link.

shielding

The RJ45 connector has eight pins. The pins used differ according to the physical link used.

The RS 232 serial link uses these pins:

  • pin 1: RXD signal

  • pin 2: TXD signal

  • pin 3: RTS signal

  • pin 4: DTR signal

  • pin 5: DSR signal

  • pin 6: CTS signal

The TCS MCN 3M4F3C2 serial crossover (ferrule) cable has two connectors:

  • RJ45 male

  • Nine-pin SUB-D female

These are the pin assignments between an RJ45 plug and a 9–pin SUB-D socket for a TCSMCN3M4F3C2 serial crossover (ferrule) cable:

The RS 485 serial link uses these pins:

  • pin 4: D1 signal

  • pin 5: D0 signal

The serial link uses these pins as described here:

  • pin 7: not connected

    pin 8: common of the network power supply (0 V)

NOTE: The RS232 four-wire, RS485 two-wire, and RS 485 two-wire and power-supply (ferrule) cables use the same RJ45 male connector.

Control Ports

The BMENOR2200H module has two Ethernet RJ45 ports on front face.

This list below shows the line speeds that are available for the BMENOR2200H module:

  • 1000 Mb in full duplex master

  • 1000 Mb in full duplex slave

  • 100 Mb in half duplex

  • 100 Mb in full duplex

  • 10 Mb in half duplex

  • 10 Mb in full duplex

Characteristics of speed adaptation include:

  • Auto-negotiation allows the BMENOR2200H module to quickly adapt itself to the local Ethernet switch's speed and duplex mode.

  • The negotiated speed between two Ethernet devices is limited to the speed of the slower device.

  • The module supports Auto MDIX, prefers MDI here.

Rotary Switch

A three-position rotary switch is located on the back of the module. Set this switch to configure a cyber security operating mode for the module:

Refer to the detailed description of the cyber security rotary switch.

Comment

dust cover
Cover the module’s unused RJ45 ports with this stopper:

The dust cover reduces the port’s exposure to atmospheric dust.

screwdriver

Use only the small, plastic screwdriver that was delivered with the module to set the rotary switch.
